Setting to close Find window after initiating search?
-
When I want to search, I press CTRL+F and enter some text then click the Find Next button to begin the search. The search dialog stays open. Is there any setting to close that window when the search begins. I usually just use F3 after the initial search to find additional occurrences.
I realize there are other posts here for people who want to keep it open while searching, but I was just wondering if by chance there was an option to control this behavior.

Probably the quickest way is to press

Ok, thanks. I was hoping for an option to close it after the initial Find Next button was clicked.

Probably the desire for this is that the Find window takes up a huge amount of space?

I just don’t need it at that point since I always do F3 after the initial entry of the search text. For me it’s just an unnecessary extra keystroke to remove it after starting the search.

If your search term is the word at the caret or some small bit of text that you could select first, you can avoid the _Find window entirely by executing Select and Find Next, which by default is Ctrl+F3. Just a thought.

That’s neat – Although it’s not always the case for my search term, I might be able to get used to that in those cases.
